ANGVNS Women's Retro Neck Houndstooth-Print Peplum 1/2 Sleeve Formal Pencil Dress (Apparel)

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy And Versatile Dress......... See Photos~, June 3, 2016

This review is from: 
The kind folks at Angvns were provided me with this Women's Retro Neck Houndstooth-Print Peplum 1/2 Sleeve Formal Pencil Dress (color: Grey, size: Medium) in exchange for sharing my unbiased review...

First off, this is a houndstooth print, as pictured, not grey as listed. That aside, I love this dress and the fit is very flattering.

For reference, I ordered according to the sizing information in the product description. I'm 5'2" and typically wear a size 6, 32-34C bust, 29" waist, and am pear shaped with 38" hips.

The length falls just below the knees on me, making this perfect for church or work. The material is stretchy and comfortable and small print means you look smaller.

I'd recommend ordering your size based on the product description. For me, the fit is right on and because of the bit of stretch, it's forgiving and looks tailored to fit.

This dress is made in China. Love the elegant neckline, peplum waistline, and 3/4 length sleeves. The zipper is well hidden and pulls smoothly and easily.

The fabric is of a nice light weight. It's thick enough to not be see through and thin enough to keep cool. Love that it's light enough to wear through Spring and Summer but could really be worn in all seasons. No need to wear a specific type of bra or a slip, it's not lined but the fabric is modest. This is an easy outfit.

I machine washed it in warm water, as instructed, and hung dry. Didn't experience any shrinking, fading or pilling. I washed it in a lingerie wash bag so that the buttons wouldn't snag other articles of clothing and vise versa.

If you don't already have some and are interested, these are sold here on Amazon and I recommend them, Allove® 3+1 Premium Laundry Wash Bags for Delicates, Sweater, Bras and Organizations(Allove1402) (I've reviewed them with photos on the product page and they're holding up well).

I think for the current price of under $20, this is a great value. Perfect for office to evening wear. Hang drying does leave it a bit wrinkled but nothing a light ironing can't handle.

Overall, this dress is well made and arrived with no loose seams. I've had it for three months and it's holding up beautifully.

I wouldn't pair them all together but will also note that it nicely matches a houndstooth hat, scarf, and pair of shoes that I own (so the print is not an off shade from what's popular).

Uploading some photos so you can get a closer look at it upon arrival, see the fabric blend and wash instructions. Smile. Hope this is helpful!
